Elric Stark

Elric was the third son born to Bennard Stark and Margaret Karstark, after his elder brothers Benjen and Brandon. His father ruled the North as regent at the time, because his cousin Cregan Stark, still underage, could not yet hold the title himself.

Cregan turned sixteen in 124 AC and came of age, but Bennard was slow to hand over rule of the North, and the relationship between uncle and nephew soured.

Two years later, in 126 AC, Cregan rose against his uncle and had him imprisoned along with his three sons, Elric among them, taking the rule of the North for himself.
